Fed's Powell: 'Muted' inflation gives room for wages to rise

 

(Reuters) - A rise in productivity last year gives more room for wages to grow without the risk of higher inflation, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said on Thursday, offering another reason why the U.S. central bank can hold off on further rate increases.

 

"Signs of upward pressure on inflation appear muted despite the strong labor market," with unemployment at 4 percent and wage increases picking up of late, Powell said in remarks prepared for delivery at the Citizens Budget Commission in New York.

 

With sidelined workers moving back into the labor market and an improvement in productivity last year, the economy can continue filling tens of thousands of new jobs each month and support higher wages without sparking an inflation spike that might prompt the Fed to begin raising rates again.

 

"More plentiful jobs and rising wages are drawing more people into the work force," Powell said. "Business-sector productivity growth, which had been disappointing during the expansion, moved up. โ€ฆ Rising productivity allows wages to increase without adding to inflation pressures."
